I do sometimes. Wandering around like a lost soul wading thru hip- high water. No destination, just wandering. Used to do it when I drove. Snap back a little, realize I was lost. Can’t do that no more, price of petrol too high

Sounds like depersonalisation, a frequent visitor to people with anxiety disorder. It's caused by the brain trying to distance us from the "danger" it thinks we are facing due t detecting our anxiety. I had it 40 years ago for a while, I used to call it 'the feeling I'm not here' or like watching everything on a tv screen.You can't cure symptoms of anxiety, you have to neutralise the cause ie. over sensitisation of our nervous system caused by high anxiety, fear and long-term stress.
